MODIGLIANI UP CLOSE

Drawing on research using the latest scientific techniques, the authors explore the artists reuse of materials in his early years, his pivot from artistic trends such as Cubism to engage with a stylised form of figuration, the timeline of his evocative sculptures, and the evolution of his approach from heavily worked canvases to more ethereal paintings. The richly illustrated book also looks at the role of Albert C. Barnes, an early collector of Modiglianis work, in shaping the Italian artists critical reception in the United States.
